Rebecca Wagner is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in upstate New York with 19 years of experience supporting adolescents and families. She holds a New York state license to practice as a mental health counselor, recorded as NY LMHC 004417.
Her work spans a wide range of concerns, including depression, adolescent anxiety, parenting and co-parenting challenges, self-harming urges, trauma and abuse, self-esteem difficulties, borderline personality disorder, and the transition to adulthood. She also provides care for those navigating life with a family member who has a persistent mental illness and addresses ADHD, stress, LGBT-related issues, relationship and family conflicts, grief, anger management, bipolar disorder, and other life changes.
Rebecca practices from a client-centered perspective, honoring each person as the expert on their own life while offering practical tools to support change. She is trained in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and she values telehealth for the opportunity it provides for more frequent contacts and brief check-ins to teach skills in the moment. She welcomes people seeking non-judgmental support, looks forward to learning about each client’s unique needs, and asks that clients schedule appointments to help her balance other responsibilities - daytime slots may not always appear available, but she is reachable for appointments.
Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most common issues.
One of the main benefits is flexibility - clients can choose the format that works best for them, whether that means video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to access support when it’s most needed.
Therapy provided online is delivered by licensed professionals, and clients can change therapists at any time if they prefer a different fit. For many people, the convenience and consistency of remote sessions make it a practical and effective option for addressing everyday mental health and life challenges.
